Cress ET28 Ceramic Kiln

Overview

Introducing the Cress ET28 Ceramic Kiln—the unit that expands what’s possible in your studio. Its generous 28.13" round chamber, extending 27" deep, offers nearly 10 cubic feet of firing space, letting dozens of mugs, multiple platters, or large serving bowls come out together with consistent results. The cylindrical interior design keeps every inch usable, eliminating awkward corners and streamlining your glaze unloading and loading workflow.

Why the ET28 Stands Out

• 3" firebrick walls deliver stable temperatures across the entire chamber, from the first shelf to the last, up to cone 10 (2350°F).
• Round chamber geometry maximizes usable space and reduces busywork—no wasted corners to navigate.
• Digital control with five preset firing speeds provides precise, repeatable results and easier scheduling for busy studios.
• Ideal for local studios, schools, and production potters seeking higher throughput without compromising consistency.
• Available as a sectional kiln for easier installation when space or access is a concern.
• Capable of accommodating a range of firing needs—from earthenware to high-fire porcelain.
• UL/CSA certified to standard 499 for safety and reliability.

Designed for Versatility and Throughput

The ET28 is built to keep up with demand. On glaze unloading days, you can fire a broader inventory in one go—dinners, platters, and decorative pieces— freeing time for new work rather than juggling smaller kilns. Its capacity supports a range of production scenarios—from studio practice to classroom use and market-ready production runs.

Setup, Installation, and Practical Use

With a sectional kiln option available, the ET28 can be installed in studios with space constraints or challenging access. Its robust insulation and heat-reflective stand contribute to energy efficiency, helping maintain consistent temperatures and reduce run times. Whether you’re coordinating a gallery show or lining up a semester-end project, the ET28 helps you plan with confidence and scale your ceramic output.
